Recommendations & Cost to Install Rear Spoiler F82

[Blazedad]

Hello - Looking for a recommendation for a place in the NY/Westchester/Rockland/Western CT/Northern NJ to have my F82 rear carbon fiber spoiler installed. Also for those who have done it what they paid, or what you think a reasonable cost would be. From what I understand there is no drilling or body work done, it is basically stuck on with 2-sided tape (hopefully correctly!). I went to a local dealership today and was told $369 plus tax to install - I thought that price was way too much....Thanks

What?
That's crazy!!!
Do it yourself
There is no way I would pay anyone to do the install for that much or more than a cup of coffee
It's straight forward and there are lots of DIY videos on how to do it. 5-10 min doing it alone
If it didn't come with double sided tape buy some at your local auto parts store
If you want to drive to central jersey I'll do it for free for you

Here is a link to a guy from the forum
He has lots of good DIY videos and this one is for the rear spoiler
His has a F80 but same principle even shows you how to remove the stock one if you have one now if not even easier

I just recently installed an M Performance spoiler on my F80. The above video is great, floss works perfectly in removing the stock spoiler. To remove the residue I highly recommend an eraser wheel, I used one of the $12 ones on Amazon:

I and a bunch of members use Doug at JRS performance. He was the Bmw shop Foreman at a local dealer and recently opened up his shop. He is very reasonable and does quality wk.

Second this!

Doug's attention to detail is scary at times. Just picked my car up from there on Sunday getting some work done, i drive almost an hour and half to go to him.

Did it myself (after watching a few “how to” videos). Thanks all who replied!
